Not News Anymore: Diablo III Is Coming!

I was flirting with the idea I could create an isometric, hack-and-slash, action role playing game like the Diablo series of computer games. I just needed some relevant gaming engines and some grim-looking graphics. In other words, I had a pipe dream, being neither a coder nor a graphic designer. I do still have some cool concepts, regarding storyline and user interfaces - well, to me, anyway.

Salvation from my quixotic quest came the other day when I was on Facebook. I clicked on a friend of a friend's profile, who was in my local network, so I could see his profile. His status update read something like, "Excited about the Diablo 3 announcement."

I was like, "Get out!" like Elaine from Seinfeld.

And so I checked out the official preview website from Blizzard. Needless to say, when this game is released, I'll have to put being the following on hold: Independent songwriter/producer, independent filmmaker, intermediate-level stock trader (the economy sucks anyway), and loudmouth political blogger.

I'm going to be a demon-cleavin' swordsman.
